Get your glitter on and take the ride of your life with the hilarious and heartwarming Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, based on the Oscar-winning film on stage at the Ogunquit Playhouse August 10 to September 3.

The Gateway's exciting Long Island premiere of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert went off without a hitch this past weekend at The Patchogue Theatre. Running through August 6th, I really can't stress enough that this musical is incredibly enjoyable and the cast, directed by David Ruttura, is top-notch. There were some changes from the 2011 Broadway production, but your big, glittery heart will definitely be smiling as you leave the theatre.

On Tuesday, May 24, 2016, from 7:30PM to 10:00PM, Madison Square Park Conservancy and School of Visual Arts will host Dreaming Public Art, a free symposium featuring a keynote conversation with artist Martin Puryear and Columbia University art historian Dr. Kellie Jones. Martin Puryear's Big Bling will be on view in Madison Square Park from May 16, 2016 through January 8, 2017.

Below, take a look back at BroadwayWorld.com's photo archives of the beloved performer, teacher, friend and colleague.

A great, big Broadway season is on its way, with fourteen productions already slated to open in the next few months. The craziness is almost upon us, but there is still plenty of time to catch up on what's been going on at Broadway's already occupied theaters . BroadwayWorld will be profiling the hits of the Great White Way that continue to draw crowds after months, years, and (in some cases) decades. Meet the current cast of Broadway's THE BOOK OF MORMON below!

It's Saturday, and that means it's time for BroadwayWorld's 'Saturday Intermission Pics' roundup. Today's SIPs come from the casts of ROCKY, KINKY BOOTS, BEAUTIFUL, THE BOOK OF MORMON, CHICAGO, HAIR and regional productions of SEUSSICAL, SWEENEY TODD, SPELLING BEE, DIXIE SWIM CLUB and more!

Please note that our Ken Price and Terry Smith exhibitions are only on view through Sunday, August 18, 2013. In the Main Gallery and Drawing Room, Ken Price: Slow and Steady Wins the Race, Works on Paper 1962–2010 is the first comprehensive survey of drawings by the sculptor Ken Price (1935–2012). A Los Angeles and Taos–based sculptor, Price sustained a quiet storm of intense creativity with drawing that until recently remained under the art world's radar. A selection of 65 works on paper tracks Price's dedication to drawing for more than 50 years and demonstrates a wide range of characters and techniques. Ken Price: Slow and Steady Wins the Race, Works on Paper 1962–2010 will travel to Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York, from September 27, 2013–January 19, 2014 and the Harwood Museum of Art, Taos, New Mexico from February 22–May 4, 2014.

Today's photos feature the cast of Broadway's BOOK OF MORMON braving a nine-show week, an EVITA-esque farewell for KINKY BOOTS' Caroline Bowman, MATILDA, ROCK OF AGES, West End's THE COLOR PURPLE, TOP HAT, and more. Check them all out below!
